What is "plus-sized" in your country?

[Senpie]

Just curious.

 

In my country (I live in Singapore at the mo), the majority major clothing retailers generally stock up to US10 (EU40) for women. Sometimes you'll see a raaaaare US12 (EU42) but i don't think I've seen anything beyond that tbh. And tbh a EU40(US10) would be considered XL, so I was shocked when I lived in the U.S. where US10 is an M from what I saw.

 

For men, I think it's up to EU43/44 (US17?). Not super certain whether I got the sizing measurements for men right though.

I think anything above an XL or size US12 is usually shuffled into the plus size range here, but I'm not positive since a lot of stores have their own weird sizing ranges. 

[shaishaix]

it depends with your gender as well ...

 

I like a woman with some meat on them ...

[BeachAngel]

depends in America :/ places like Hollister/Abercromie [Where I worked and Shopped] Didnt carry past size 10 or a L

[SAYAKA]

anything above US16? In the US it's really weird because a US10 in Abrecombie&Fitch is not the same as a US10 in New York & Co.

Technically it's supposed to be anything US 12 and over, but most people I think would say US 16 in the US now... personally I think 12 is appropriate as the cut off though.

Hmm.. Hollister goes pass a size 10 cause I tried on some pants there but they were too long and I wear 13. 

 

 

But from what I've seen in plus size stores like Lane Bryant, Ashley Stewart, and Forever 21 a 12 is plus sized but their 12's are too big for me and I can fit a size 10 in some stuff so it depends on the store really.

Every store's numbers are a bit different.  Actually, make that very different, if you compare the size I wear at H&M compared to Garage (a canadian chain).  I think the general one is size 12 or size 14 for women.  I don't know the sizing for men tho

I live in Europe, and I think plus-sized is EU42 (US12) or above.

 

I think clothes in my country are labeled like this most of the time:

 

EU34 = XS
EU36 = S
EU38 = M
EU40 = L
EU42 = XL

EU44 = XXL

etc.

 

It's hard to find clothes bigger than XXL.

Like most people are saying above it varies at each store but usually plus size in the US starts at around a 14/16 which is considered XL.  At some stores it is lower than that.

in china probably like a M or L is worthy of a "fat" label.
i get judged by people all the time whenever i visit and i'm a size 1 

but i live in the U.S. so probably a size 16 and above

 

[Bitchcraft]

I think here plus size is like US12+

 

But tbh most clothes are made in sizes 2, 4 and 6. And they're the ones that get sold the fastest.

 

 

Also size L is fat here.

Hey fellow Singaporean, I once shopped at Marks and Spencers and saw that they do stock up to size 14US for their blouses~

WOAH, maybe they have changed THANK god I feel its hard to find a size because it doesn't mean your big you can be really tall.. I'm short and its really hard to find jeans that fit me :/ without covering my feet

Yeah tbh asian standards get me down AF tbh. Size 1 is not even anywhere remotely fat, are you sure they aren't just jealous?!

 

 

 

it depends with your gender as well ...

 

I like a woman with some meat on them ...

But people of larger size have pretty errr marbled meat if you know what I mean, it's usually not toned

 

Technically it's supposed to be anything US 12 and over, but most people I think would say US 16 in the US now... personally I think 12 is appropriate as the cut off though.

I agree, I don't think artitdues towards weight should be revised upward, if not being larger sizes are just going to be normalized. Imagine the healthcare costs and impacts on family members omg.

Omg so I'd be in the upper range of the average even there too omg :wtf:

[xharuharux]

i think in sweden we've p much always got sizes up to 44, and then sometimes you find up to 48. so a plus size section would be... 50+? it's a bit dubious

 

let's not talk about bra sizes though lol finding D+ cups is an adventure on its own
